How and why multicopy genes survive on the human Y chromosome
2024-04-03
Abstract excerpt
The mammalian Y chromosome is an evolutionary paradox: it cannot recombine across most of its length and has lost many genes, yet it retains multicopy gene families required for sperm production. How these genes survive has been difficult to resolve because their near-identical copies collapse in most genome assemblies and are difficult to analyze accurately with short RNA reads. Using telomere-to-telomere assembl...
